Here's a trick that works great for broken studs like that. Find an old, clean hex nut that fit loosely over the remains of the stud. Fire up the mig welder, and weld inside the nut, fusing the remains of the stud to the nut. Grab a wrench, and twist the welded nut/stud out with ease. The thermal shock of rapid heating/cooling during the welding process tends to loosen the stud, and it will spin out with ease. If you have a welder (or even better, a friend with a welder!), give it a try.
good idea, this is actually common on subies with the cam bolt they do the same thing and weld a nut on.
